The Jouët 1040, often designated as the 10.40, represents a pivotal era in French naval architecture where the transition from pure racing performance to "habitability" began to dominate the cruiser market. Designed by Daniel Tortarolo and manufactured by Yachting France during the late 1970s and early 1980s, the 1040 was built to offer a robust, offshore-capable platform that did not sacrifice the interior volume required for extended family cruising. At approximately 34 feet (10.4 meters), it occupies a sweet spot in the Jouët lineup, sitting between the more agile 920 and the expansive 1300. Its design reflects the philosophy of the period: a heavy-duty fiberglass hull, a masthead sloop rig, and a beam that remains relatively wide carried aft to maximize cockpit and cabin space.
